-1, -2 and Blinking Wrench??

[DoraAnderson]

I turned on my car yesterday, and instead of the odometer and trip odometer, it had a -1 and a wrench, then when I got back in to come home, it had a -2 and wrench. The car has 5600 miles on it.

WTF? Anyone know what this is?

You are at a Year since your car was activatied and it is telling you it wants to be serviced


Its a 10K or one year, what ever comes first.

Happy Birthday!!! Your car is a year old.

No maintenance required, just a recommendation from the manufacture that you take your car to the dealer.

resetting the indicator

Hope this link helps too.

Thank you too! Yes, the car originally hit the road one year ago!

Well, there is a school of thought that smart calls for the oil change at 10K miles or one year, whichever comes first.

What exactly does the -1 and -2 really mean though?!? I never figured it out.

1 day past 2 days past.
It will add a number every day past the recomendation. So is you show up at your service center with it flashing -300 they will know you have ignored it for quite some time

Just had a thought. (I know, rare indeed) If you reset the indicator at the 1 year mark and say 5,000 miles, does it go on again at 10K miles , the 15K mark or just wait a year from when it was reset?? I never have problems going 10K in a years time but I was just curious.

It will reset for 10,000 mile or one year from the time of the reset
